Not at all surprised. Many of the mods leaning hard right is why it took so ducking long for The Admiral to get the boot from GFAQs.

No, but look man, there was a mod that sat here for days in a topic defending actual Nazis and Nazi's ability to openly speak about Nazi ideology
What? When was that?

Then when I reminded people of that fact a week or so later I got a fucking warning
Oh, I believe that shit. I got modded for criticizing the Daxter situation.

I dont think the mods are hard right. I just think they go out of the way to bury anything they think makes them look bad. Their natural instinct is to hide the evidence and pretend it didnt happen. And thats not even necessarily their fault. Its how the system is set up. GameFAQs is designed to hide its problems, not discuss and deal with them.

Weird when taking into account that there a lot more Mods who are left leaning then right leaning. You should not have gotten moderated for that.

And to build on what was said earlier, we have to wade through so many bad marks it isn't funny.
I no actioned about 100 marks from one user the other day. Not a single violation in the batch they marked... Gotta think an average of 20-30 seconds to read each post for me. I spent about 45 minutes just reading and no actioning reports from one user. I only ever spend at most an hour a day working the queue...
Any violations in the queue at the time were buried behind those 100 marks and I frankly didn't get to them.


Are you going to do anything about it to improve the system?

Sadly, the mods literally couldn't do anything there. It was a community board. Those are self moderated unless enough people mark the posts, wait to see if they're not being properly handled, and then report to the admins via feedback. Mods have nothing to do with that process. Marks on that board went to Taiis82, gwwak, and Lightning iirc...
We know that. But when the system is set up that badly, you start to wonder if it was intentionally designed that way just to allow those boards to exist. Whoever heard of a site allowing boards that their own mods had no power on? I hadnt before the MAGA forum came along.

And not only did all 3 of them manage to survive that with zero repercussions, Gwwak still has his own board, and Lightning was not only allowed to keep his own board (at the time), but was allowed to give Taiis control over it as well and that went on for months after.

Sure was handled real well /s

They dont have the authority, and SBAllen wont want to make such massive changes.

Besides, Gfaqs and Gamespot are owned by CNET, so if there is too much whinging and mod rebelling they will shut Gfaqs down.

How do you propose to improve it? 90% of all marks get no actioned for being non-violations, and 90% of the time when I see people bitching about a post that actually is a violation not being modded it's been less than 24 hours since being marked or it just simply wasn't marked. Occasionally a post will get moderated faster, but it doesn't happen all the time...

The way to improve the system is to get better users to mark posts...


Perhaps stricter punishments for obviously bad reporting to encourage users to
A) not mark in bad-faith just trying to hurt another user
B) Think more seriously about moderations.

RedVentures owns the site now, so...


How do you propose to stop him? An IP ban? A KOS list? Those were both tried in the past. The IP ban was useless and the KOS list led to even worse shit getting posted as people like Gavi tried to get on said list.

That's your job bud.

I dont know how the queue is set up. But my suggestion would be that things only appear in the queue if its been marked twice and the queue should be ranked with the highest number of marks appearing at the top of the list.

Its not. Allen has a Red Ventures Rep he reports to. Ive been talking to a former GameSpot employee on Twitter and he confirmed that GameSpot, GameFAQs, etc all report separately to Red Ventures.

Fucking hell, is that some feeble attempt at a gotcha moment? Who cares who owns the sites? So RedVentures will shut it down rather than CNET, same outcome.

Usually because that encapsulates a 'mods are complicit in this bias because they allow it to stand' mentality that accuses us of being like these reprehensible people. Yes, shit gets up on the boards, and it unfortunately ends up staying up too long or never getting deleted because of an inaction on the mod staff, not necessarily because we agree with what was being said. I certainly don't like being referred to as a transphobe bigot racist.

Of course not all of you are that way, but enough mods are. Sure seems that the admins are too and I wouldn't be surprised if I get modded again or even get another warning for saying so. Speaking of, I got modded and warned pretty quick last time. I thought mods don't spot mod posts or is that a personal preference thing?
